OT: Shuttle Breaks Up During Re-Entry

[geoschmo]

Uh, ok Greybeard.

Actually your example is backwards. TWA 800 was not shot down. The quick answer everyone wanted was that it was shot down. Only after thousands of hours of in depth research and analysis did the true cause, the fuel tank electrical problem, become known.

In fact the irrational hysteria around the "missle theory" has taken attention away from what really should concern people about the TWA 800 crash. The fact that faulty wiring that should have been taken out years before on all those commercial airliners wasn't. That's the real scary thing about it. But noone talks about it cause they would rather believe someone shot it down then believe the airliners they are flying in every day could blow up too because of the same faulty design.
